MESSAGE FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

KATIE HARVEY

Whether you’ve been with us for one week or one year, I cannot fully express how proud and grateful I am to be your Executive Director here at All Seasons Naples. I do not have to remind anyone how challenging and changeable this year has been globally. However, I hope you will join me in celebrating the successes and strides right here at home. Our Life Enrichment Program has a lot to offer this quarter. I encourage you all to join us at our signature performances by Christine Bradford, Duo Beaux, and Solomon Eichner. Our art studio is bustling with creativity, the library’s reading nooks and discussion areas are increasingly active, the fitness and aquatic centers make it easy and enjoyable to build strength and reduce stress, and the Sky Lounge, Cinema, Multipurpose Room, and Grand Living Room continue to showcase live performances, lectures, social events, and resident-led discussions on local and global affairs. None of this would be possible without the dedication and enthusiasm of our staff, nor the talents, skills, and passions you, our residents, continue to share. Together, we are creating community every day. We look forward to the unique life enrichment offerings coming up this quarter; I encourage you to invite a new neighbor and try something new. As always, if there is anything I can do to facilitate your fullest enjoyment of All Seasons, I am at your service. 3

TED ED: LESSONS WORTH SHARING

TED Talks are influential videos from expert speakers on education, business, science, tech and creativity, with subtitles in 100+ languages. This quarter, we’ll screen and discuss:

“FOUR KINDS OF REGRET -- AND WHAT THEY TEACH YOU ABOUT YOURSELF” Regret is one of our most powerful emotions -- and also one of the most misunderstood. Over the past two years, author Daniel H. Pink has collected a trove of more than 16,000 regrets from people in 105 countries in an effort to better understand this mysterious emotion. He shares the key patterns that emerged (it all boils down to the same four core regrets, he says) and explains how to transform your own regrets in order to create the life you've always wanted to live. “THE SCIENCE OF PRESERVING SIGHT” As you get older, your eyes worsen and become susceptible to a disease called age-related macular degeneration -- the leading cause of blindness, with no cure in sight. Sharing the science of how your vision works, researcher Joshua Chu-Tan offers breakthrough insights on a lesser-known RNA that could change the treatment for this disease, preserving the gift of sight for longer and improving the quality of life for millions of people. “EXPANDING YOUR CIRCLE OF COMPASSION” It's hard to always show compassion -- even to the people we love, but Robert Thurman asks that we develop compassion for our enemies. He prescribes a seven-step meditation exercise to extend compassion beyond our inner circle. The first American to be ordained a Tibetan Monk by the Dalai Lama, Robert A.F. Thurman is a scholar, author and tireless proponent of peace. “WHAT SIX YEARS IN CAPTIVITY TAUGHT ME ABOUT FEAR AND FAITH” In 2002, the Colombian guerrilla movement known as the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) kidnapped Ingrid Betancourt in the middle of her presidential campaign. For the next six years, Betancourt was held hostage in jungle prison camps where she was ravaged by malaria, fleas, hunger and human cruelty until her rescue by the Colombian government. In this deeply personal talk, the politician turned writer explains what it's like to live in a perpetual state of fear -- and how her faith sustained her. Continued on Next Page

BERLINER PHILHARMONIKER

MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT The Berliner Philharmoniker, founded in 1882, is a German orchestra based in Berlin. It is one of the most popular, acclaimed and wellrespected orchestras in the world. Join us each month for an intimate program screening with refreshments. April selection: John Eliot Gardiner conducts Brahms and Mendelssohn John Eliot Gardiner and his Monteverdi Choir present two key choral works from the Romantic period. During this era, spiritual music was intended to edify. Johannes Brahms does that in his dramatic Schicksalslied by reinterpreting Hölderlin’s resigned text with an optimistic epilogue. Mendelssohn’s Second Symphony, on the other hand, shows the way from darkness into the radiant vision of a better world with melodious choruses, duets, and arias.

RESIDENT POETRY “THE FLY ET AL” - BY BOB LULL What is that thing on the ceiling Seems like gravity it is repealing It’s upside down, doesn’t seem right Oops there it goes, it’s now taken flight As I watch it soaring around It begs a question profound Have you ever wondered why They named that thing a fly Someone once took a notion To name that thing for its motion Much like a few other creatures Named for their habits or features Like that cute little bird coming Drinking from flowers while humming That bouncer in the grass is a hopper A Daddy with long legs is named proper Yet there are lots more, I insist That should be put on this list Of those whose name should reflect The actions from them we expect We could call an ant a walker For a cricket maybe try talker Why not name a bee for its buzz A sound a bunch of them does A chipmunk could be called dasher For a firefly I like the name flasher Should we name a frog for its croak

A butterfly for its colorful cloak Let’s call some for just doing their thing Like naming a wasp for its sting Or honor another fine creature By ordaining the mantis a preacher On my rename list, the Ladybug is These days we must we call her Ms. Yet I don’t think they all can be sisters I would bet there are really some misters There are some people, I would guess Who about this, couldn’t care less They would laugh and say with a shrug Hey! Get real! It’s only a #&*$** bug So I’ll withhold my name for the rat The skeeter, the tick and the knat And a bad bunch, I’m sure you’ll agree The ones that you “no can see.” In summation it seems to be clear The mystery will remain, I fear Because none of you really cares why They named that thing – The Fly I hate to leave – been lots of fun Just got a call and I gotta run To a rather important appointment My subject got stuck in some ointment.

tips All Seasons Residents, Staff, and Families Improve Communication Using Caremerge Family Engagement Beginning in early 2020, when COVID-19 changed the way we engage with our loved ones outside our buildings, residents in our six All Seasons communities wanted an easier way to keep in touch with their families. Using Caremerge as our technology partner, the Family Engagement platform has been an easy tool to use to improve communication and critical to improving isolation and loneliness, which

can have serious health implications in adults, negatively impacting mental and physical health. As we continue to navigate the hardships of the pandemic, family communication remains vitally important. Caremerge Family Engagement allows staff to upload photos and videos, publish announcements, and survey residents and families about community life.

To learn how you can improve family communication with CareMerge, contact your Director of Life Enrichment today!

PHILANTHROPY SPOTLIGHT BETTY’S BLANKETS When Betty Pattinson brought her simple and unique blanket-making workshop to All Seasons, it caught on fast. Known as “Blanketmaking with Betty,” workshops began with residents acquiring 32 in. x 54 in. blankets to be customized. Betty taught staff and residents her method, first by cutting strips around the perimeter of the blanket. Then Betty, residents, and Life Enrichment Coordinator, Vasos, tied knots along the edges of the blanket. The result was a fun and relaxing activity that just about anybody could do. “I like to have something to do for myself. Cutting the blankets is good therapy for me and good therapy for all the people who come to do it; it helps with their fingers. And it feels nice to be doing something for others”, says Betty. Once Betty and her helpers have crafted a sizable amount of blankets they are set to be donated to Give to Immokalee, a program to aid youth in Immokalee. 25

DESIGNING ALL SEASONS THE MAGIC OF A BÖSENDORFER: AN ALL SEASONS STAPLE Bechstein pianos were the only instruments capable of withstanding his tremendously powerful playing.

\ You may have noticed the grand pianos which command attention in the grand living spaces of our communities. Maybe you've noticed the way musicians are drawn to them, how they relish in the sounds and feels of bringing a Bösendorfer to life. But if you're unfamiliar with the pianos and their history, you're not alone. Here are just some of the reasons these pianos are truly unique and beloved by the most celebrated pianists throughout history. In 1824, Ignaz Bosendorfer began refining the handmade pianos of Joseph Brodman, a piano builder in Vienna. Primarily, he wanted to heighten the volume of the instrument, whilst preserving the soft, melodious sound of the string. After having won gold medals at industry exhibitions, Ignaz Bosendorfer was awarded the grand title of ‘Imperial and Royal Fortepiano Purveyor to the Court’ in 1839 by Emperor Ferdinand I because of his work. Among the earliest artists to be associated with Bösendorfer was Franz Liszt who at least once opined that Bösendorfer and

Bösendorfer remains the premier Austrian piano manufacturer and is unusual in that it produces 97- and 92-key models, in addition to instruments with standard 88-key keyboards. Contrary to all other manufacturers, Bösendorfer constructs instruments concentrating on the use of spruce. More than 80% of spruce, ideal for instruments, can be found in Bösendorfer pianos. The whole body - not exclusively the soundboard - supports sound formation. The actual core of the piano rim consists of a 10 mm quarter-sawn piece that is specially grooved by craftsmen to allow it to be bent to the silhouette around the inner rim. This is unique to Bösendorfer. When a note is played, the integrated spruce components become acoustically active, forming a complete resonating body that allows the whole instrument to project the music. Also, Bösendorfer is the only piano manufacturer that applies a detachable and independent Capo d’Astro in the upper register. This is how artisans assure the most precise adjustment in the upper register, guaranteeing the original Bösendorfer sound for generations. We are proud to offer these world renowned instruments to resident and touring musicians for a unique All Seasons experience.

A COLUMN ON GLOBAL APPROACHES AND INSIGHTS INTO AGING WELL

WELLNESS CORNER: IKIGAI Sources: BBC by Yukari Mitsuhashi With no direct English translation, Ikigai is a term that embodies the idea of happiness in living. It is composed of two words: iki, which means life, and gai, which describes value or worth. Author and psychiatrist Mieko Kamiya explains that “ikigai” is like happiness but has a subtle difference in its nuance. Ikigai is what allows you to look forward to the future even if you’re unhappy right now. Japanese people believe that the sum of small joys in everyday life results in a more fulfilling life as a whole. Essentially, ikigai is the reason why you get up in the morning. A concept for longevity? Japan has some of the longest-living citizens in the world – 87 years for women and 81 for men, according to the country’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Could this concept of ikigai contribute to longevity? Author Dan Buettner believes it does. He's the author of “Blue Zones: Lessons on Living Longer from the People Who’ve Lived the Longest,” and has travelled the globe exploring long-lived

communities around the world. One such location is Okinawa, a remote island with a remarkably high number of centenarians. While a unique diet likely has a lot to do with residents’ longevity, Buettner says ikigai also plays a part. “Older people are celebrated, they feel obligated to pass on their wisdom to younger generations,” he says. This gives them a purpose in life outside of themselves, in service to their communities. What You Can Do Buettner suggests making three lists: your values, things you like to do, and things you are good at. The cross section of the three lists is your ikigai! But, knowing your ikigai alone is not enough. Simply put, you need an outlet. Ikigai is “purpose in action,” he says. For 92-year-old Tomi Menaka, her ikigai is to dance and sing with her peers in the KBG84 dance troupe, she told the Mainichi newspaper. For others, it might be work itself, volunteering, or learning new skills. To live with more “ikigai,” reach out to your Director of Life Enrichment to learn more about opportunities through All Seasons.
